Case Study: Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust achieves 100% restore success and 96% reduction in backup management with Veeam

NSFT relies on Veeam to ensure the availability of patient data and protect against cyber-attacks

Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT) provides mental health and learning disability services to more than 1.6 million people with over 5,000 staff. Facing rising ransomware threats and the critical need for 24/7 access to up-to-date clinical data, the Trust sought stronger, easy-to-manage data protection that wouldn’t overburden its lean IT team.

NSFT deployed Veeam Data Platform Advanced to back up every on‑premises application, implement immutable backups and simplify administration. The result: a 100% success rate in monthly restore tests, auditor-approved cyber resilience, and a 96% reduction in backup management time (from half a day to about ten minutes), freeing IT to focus on service improvements and giving staff reliable access to patient data.
